I'm writing this petition in regards to ALL POLITICAL PARTIES as well as the PEOPLE to get involved in knowledge as well as making MENTAL HEALH ISSUES a priority!!! The world we live in now is at risk every single moment of everyday with 100's of people affected by mental illness issues...my concern is the lack of interest/knowledge from our leaders and the people in this matter. I have suffered from severe depression for a long time...and have lived.through the traumatic death of my wonderful husband who took his life by suicide. Suicide is on the rise in many age groups due to the lack of awareness to the mental illness issue. We need to put this matter on top of the list in politics as well as everyday living!! We need to eliminate the stigma of mental illness issues and make the help more affordable as well available!

I travel Routes 287 and 80 to get to work each day. I would love to be able to take a train to get to work. As of now, I would have to travel all the way to NYC and change trains or switch to buses several times, tripling my commute. I think others who may travel different highways would like this option, but I don't hear anyone talking about it, so I'm starting my own petition.

Having schools, students, and parents all held accountable for the education of our children.

We U.S. Citizens are "expected" to pay our own way with OBAMA CARE and/or other health and retirement benefits. "I" am tired of paying for extravagant trips, parties, entertainment, absurd benefits, etc. In a similar vein, I think is criminally wrong to offer $$$ to other countries when our own citizenry is in need. I COULD GO ON & ON & ON!!! :(

One day a loving family sent their 6 year old to school and he came back with 11 bullet holes in him. I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around the idea of a little child with 11 bullet holes.

Harry Potter chocolate receives an "F" in human rights, according to an independent report from Free2Work (http://thehpalliance.org/i/campaigns/nihn/behr-scorecard.pdf). Andrew Slack of the Harry Potter Alliance contacted Warner Bros., and received a statement that another report negated the "F" grade, but did not allow Harry Potter fans to see the report or understand why.

The site of Tigers Stadium should be transformed into a communal space that reflects its roots as a historic baseball field.

Employers are using credit checks to assess the trustworthiness of applicants. The credit score of an applicant is not a gauge for their character/aptitude.

In today's economy it's harder than ever to get a job. There are tons of well qualified people (like myself) that are looking for gainful employment or to start their careers, but are being held back by credit checks. I have personally been turned down for a job because of my low credit score. I have been contingently hired, but then turned down for a job with the TSA at Tweed Airport in CT as a luggage screener because my credit score was low. I, like everyone else had bills that my minimum wage job did not cover. I went from making $18.00/hr to $9.00/hr after having my son and have had a hard time catching up to where I was. I am not a bad person, I don't steal, swindle, pilfer. I am honest, hardworking and eager to work! All I need is the opportunity. With employers using credit checks for the base to hire/not hire applicants is wrong and their decisions are leaving a lot of eligible employees out of the mix. Criminal checks should be considered, not credit checks.
